The Sims 3 Ugly blue filter bug

Hello, I have annoying problem. When I Alt+Tab The Sims 3 game and launch it again by Alt+Tab, that ugly filter occurs and makes everything blue. The only way to remove this is Alt+Tab it couple of times and lighting fixes itself. But I want it removed once for all. Thanks for any help.

First image is normal,

second with a blue filter.

I have Seasons and ReShade, but I tried turning reshade off and nothing so that probably isn't problem.

  • @Pomelo-Dilina  I don't see anything wrong in your screenshot, but it's possible the blue filter didn't come through.  However, the issue may well be the alt-tabbing: Sims 3 doesn't respond well to that in fullscreen mode, and there really isn't anything to be done about it.  This is true of many games made a decade ago or more—it's just the way they were programmed.

    If you want to alt-tab, play in windowed mode.  You can also use a utility called Windowed Borderless Gaming, which works well with Sims 3 and will give you the fullscreen look with the function of windowed mode.
